Comfort-Aire TGRG Series for R-410A - Manual (Page 7)

2. Quick Reference Guide For R-410A
• R-410A refrigerant operates at approximately 60% higher pressure (1.6 times) than R-
22. Ensure that servicing equipment is designed to operate with R-410A.
• R-410A refrigerant cylinders are pink.
• R-410A, as with other HFC’s is only compatible with POE oils.
• Vacuum pumps will not remove moisture from POE oil.
• R-410A systems are to be charged with liquid refrigerants. Prior to March 1999, R-
410A refrigerant cylinders had a dip tube. These cylinders should be kept upright for
equipment charging. Post March 1999 cylinders do not have a dip tube and should
be inverted to ensure liquid charging of the equipment.
• Do not install a suction line filter drier in the liquid line.
• A liquid line filter drier is standard on every unit.
• Desiccant (drying agent) must be compatible for POE oils and R-410A
3. Evaporator Coil / TXV
The thermostatic expansion valve is specifically designed to operate with R-410A. DO
NOT use an R-22 TXV. The existing evaporator must be replaced with the factory
specified TXV evaporator specifically designed for R-410A.
